It was in 1928 that Edmond Bordeaux Szekely (pronounced
Say-Kay) first published his translation of The Essene Gospel of Peace, an
ancient manuscript discovered in the Secret Archives of the Vatican as the
result of limitless patience, faultless scholarship, and unerring intuition.

The English version first appeared in 1937 representing yet another fragment of
the complete manuscript which exists in Aramaic in the Secret Archives of the
Vatican and in old Slavonic in the Royal Library of the Habsburgs (now the
property of the Austrian government). The poetic style of the translator brings
to vivid reality the exquisitely beautiful words of Jesus and the Elders of the
Essene Brotherhood. Liberated from the secret archives
of the Vatican, these sacred scrolls are testaments to the eternal and
living truth of the Way.
